A Textual Commentary On Matthew 3:14
(a) Iωαννης is omitted in א, B, and Sahidic version. Syriac, Vulgate, and Bohairic versions support the Majority. It is more likely to be unintentionally omitted in א, B or removed for the purpose of improving the style, than to have been added, without any necessity, in all Greek copies but two.
